Ok, I just read this thread start to finish instead of searching for jobs today, and here I am 5 hours later looking at a bathroom? Unless there's going to be a projector or a LCD put in you need to move this out of the Dedicated Theater Design & Construction group. I mean, come on.

The theater looks GREAT, as does everything else you've done! It's a shame you didn't do the original stone bar, but it still looks absolutely gorgeous!! I'm subscribing and bookmarking for when I build my theater.

And I thought you guys were really interested in my bathroom.

(Actually, this is on what I call "thread life support." It has a serious case of Archivitis and I am just trying to keep it hanging on for the day I finish the project.)

You ask and you shall recieve:
I used to be interested in HT, but once you get into bathrooms, it is hard to go back. Plus, the ladies love the bathrooms.

Thread reported to mods. There isn't so much as a clock radio in this bathroom, let alone the Kuro I recommended... the walls don't even have acoustic treatment.

Now to save this thread from deletion by the mods, I would suggest installing a shower door made of polymer dispersed liquid crystals. That way with a flick of a switch they can look like normal glass or be turned into a projection surface. That way you can at least watch movies while you shower.

I know you have heard this many, many times but I must chime in, your theater is beautiful....and I hope you have no exploding methane gases in your non-studor vent bathroom...

If you wouldn't have popped into my newly started HT thread, I may not have seen your build...so thanks for stopping in! Up until I saw your thread, I was planning on a build with very little wood. I still won't attempt your level of craftsmanship but your soffits are just gorgeous and I may have to try something very similar...thanks!

Gentlemen, I am going to go way off topic here. I know you are interested in how the bathroom is coming together. It is almost done and I will post pictures later. For now, I am going to switch gear to the HT (I know, I know, but bear with me, please).

I finally decided to tackle the equipment closet. I have been planning to buy a rack for about a year now, but I just can not seem to pull the trigger on a $1000 rack system. So I have been looking for alternatives and found something I thought would work reasonably well at Lowe's. It is a component shelving system in which you buy the shelves (wood, Plexiglas, of wire) and the legs between the shelves (8", 12" or 16"). You can also buy casters to attach to the bottom, so it rolls. It came to a grand total of $120.

Here is the equipment closet before:

Here is the rack system:

Here it is installed:

I used the wire shelves between the components to facilitate air flow. I can roll it forward about 2.5' to access the rear of the equipment. All in all I am quite happy with the result and you can't beat the price.

I also bought myself a little Christmas present, a Panamax power conditioner/surge protector (second shelf from the bottom).

That is a nice rack. It looks much better and cleaner than the two tables

Thanks. I concur. Anyone want to buy some end tables?

I intentionally bought a wood shelf for the second from the bottom shelf where the receiver sits. I did not want to risk putting it on a wire shelf. I put the heavier equipment at the bottom, so it would not be top heavy. If I was to carelessly try to roll it, grabbing it from the top, and the caster caught a grout line, it could potentially tip... but I won't do that.

I do hope the fact that video is lying right there on the floor doesn't mean you were actually working out in the HT though The theater is of course no place for any type of exercise-related activities.

Funny I had to resolve my equipment closet issue also. It was driving me nuts and wasn't really accessible because the shelf rack I had everything on was basically the width of the closet. I couldn't really get to the back of it for maintenance.

I had been eyeing some shelving at HD and Lowes. Over the weekend I went to Lowes and found some dark grey hammered texture wire shelving. The grey actually matches my trim color choice.. So 2 vertical bars and four wire shelves later and my equipment closet is much more organized and accessible. I can actually step in to it now and do whatever I need to. I need to take some pics so I can post it to my thread.
